Do you get hungry when you work - if so what do you like to eat?

No, I never eat while I work but I do have a lunch break around 12:00 midday then work into the evening. Sometimes a walk to the shops is a good way to clear my head and get away from the picture if I get a bit stuck. South London - is it a source of inspiration or frustration suspect both? South London isn't really either to be honest, I've lived in south London for so long, I don't really notice it anymore, maybe back in the 80s with the rise of Graffiti, that had a really big impact on me because it was so mysterious, it just appeared over night, like some strange inner city crop circle! But saying that, the other morning on the way to work, I was waiting on the platform and one of those long freight trains slowly rolls through the station, it was about 20 cars long and on each car, there was a (graf) piece. To this day, that still makes me excited, it took about 3 minutes for the whole train to pass through the station and don't think anyone else was bothered. But I like the fact someone went to all that trouble just on the off chance someone like me will see it at 6 in the morning. Maybe that's what it's all about, that 'off chance.
